@@kirstyentwistle3192 first of all, dont say r/, this isn't reddit. And it wasn't going over my head, he was referring to fast and the furious movies shifting like 50 times in every race even though cars only have 5-6 gears.
Truckers will forever have my respect! Always give them there space and give them time before getting in there path, there job is no joke and If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have any of our merchandise we purchase. Thank you to all truckers out there. Love
Watched my dad do this for years. At 12 yrs old he asked if I wanted to drive. I said quickly, "yep". Hopped over and took off like a fish in water, he just let me keep going. I'm 32 now, 4 kids, work construction to be home every night. Kids never been in a truck and I haven't talked to my dad in years. I miss the sound of a turbo, that hissing sound from splitting gears. One day I'll be in a truck, it's in my blood.
paintup46 Respect to you man, a hard working American to support his family. Idk what happened between you and your dad, but I agree with this man about seeing your father.
Not hard at all dude we don’t use the clutch all you gotta do is apply pressure and ease your foot of the gas. it’s called floating the gears, if he takes to long shifting gears it won’t go to the next gear you’ll have to rev the motor to make the rpms line up with the tranny or whatever. I learnt how to drive with a 13 speed now I drive a 10 speed.
I was talking to a friend today about how simple it is to shift trucks nowadays, cuz they're automatic. Huge respect for those like you who can still master a beast of a gearshifter like that one :)
At the very least it gives you something to focus on, running 10+ hours can get a bit dry, if you've got some hills or tight corners i find having to cycle through a few gears helps me stay awake, auto's are dangerous, been running teams for long enough not to like them, you'd shit yourself if you knew how many drivers are half awake in trucks with cruise control rolling down the freeway

It's more than that I find. It forces you to be more aware of the road and your surroundings. You want to look ahead, and think ahead, to avoid having to shift down a gear or come to a stop and have to launch again. It also keeps you aware of you speed, since you're more involved in the process that got you that speed.
@ I totally agree with what you said, I drove school bus for over 20 years and about 16 of those years was in a stick shift….I learned exactly what my bus was capable of doing and which gear to be in for the conditions, be it either weather or traffic…I also was an instructor who made sure my trainees understood the importance of being in the right gear for the situation at hand so they would always be in control of their bus at all times. So yes, you’re right when you say it’s much more than that! 👍🏼☺️
Thats just how I've been doing since i started driving 13 speed and i learned all by myself. Today i just came to youtube to see if i was doing it properly and this good man pretty much said i am doing properly. Thank you for the video my man,God bless you.
If trucking companies were smart, they would just go all-in on automatics on Semi’s. Nobody wants to drive a manual transmission. They need to go the way of Carburetors.
The man got skills! The gear placement,red button forward and back plus the other in front plus 13 gears to think about....all done smoothly,Beast mode
Finally a driver who knows how to hold the gear shifter in his hand correctly. Thats the first step in getting them smooth shifts! No matter which trans you have pay attention to his hand and learn!
😫 l drove truck for 45 years and love it, seen places you love to live. Seen other things, like one day going down the interstate look out and seen this beautiful lady on your motorcycle, not a thing on, gone blind, seen cops coming told her to get on the right side of my truck, the police miss, and I didn't see her again. 😢 miss driving so much how, but maybe go back and get my eyes rolling one more time.
That's how I drove my 13spd when I was on the road. It's that simple! Other videos put too many emphasis and too many zig zag details to throw you off. Making it more difficult than it actually is. Yours is simple and to the point. Good job! 👍👍👍
Shifting 2 gears per shift 2x6 is 12 plus one shift for 13 at 6 you switch to high range and when you said to watch the red button you split the last two gears 12-13 good video and very educational
Im been driving only 10 speed trucks, my truck is on the mechanic and I have to drive a 13 speed today get the job done. This video was really helpful and everything goes well so far.
God Bless You Oldmanriding... LoL 😂 -- I've gotta' admit that when I was 15 and my Dad said meet us on the Grand Concourse (up in the Bronx)what he meant was it's about time you start learning how to throw some gears & drive without power steering ! It was kinda'my right of passage here in Brooklyn , NY -- 73 Mack R700 with Detroit & 13 speed Road ranger.....that was back in1982 and I haven't stopped driving them since !
Exactly how i did it years ago, lots of little nuances you can pick up for different conditions like weight or hills. My older brother said he could drive anything... he failed miserably with this same transmission. Respect to you.
I drove a little back in the 80's, and the 13 speed Fuller Road Ranger was very popular. It takes practice, but you eventually get the hang of it. Downshifting takes some finesse, but it too is doable with time and practice. What always blew my mind was the dump truck drivers who used a two lever "Brownie" shifter. They had to use both hands, with one arm through the steering wheel. Never figured that one out....
All of us who run 9s 10s 13s and 18s giggle at the automatics on the hills with the rookies behind the wheels the automatics are good IF THE DRIVER SHIFTS PROPERLY.
Thank you for your superb demonstration Old Man Riding. I recently got a new trucking job and my shifting was rusty cause my last company went all-automatic with the fleet. After watching your video I literally shook the rust off within an hour.
@@oldmanriding Thank you 😊. I started driving professionally in 2008 and most manuals I've driven were always 10-speed. The only time I drove a 13-speed was during my training with CR England back in early '09. This new company (D&M Transportation) gave me a 13-speed Coronado and your demonstration helped a great deal with restoring the memory and timing. The automatic comment had me laughing 😆
Worked in bearing factory for 41 years . Eaton Fuller transmission was one of our customers. Also Eaton Axle, Caterpillar, John Deere, and other major brands
Straight to the point and you didn’t even explain anything but still managed to give way more details than any other video on TH-cam that Ive watched on the 13 speed lol
correct me if im wrong but the red button is to activate maybe a second transmission, OR it changes the layout of the shifter so there isn't 13 different gears layed out on the dashboard until it goes to the passenger side
The man in a ‘grand father’ age made a very good video. Perfect angle and interest in sharing. Appreciated. And also noticed the old jeans material which looks like 80 and 90s.
My dad had me driving a manual when I was 10. My first car was a 67 GTO. It was an automatic with a hurst dual gate shifter. Wasn’t a manual but it was fun. I’ve never driven a automatic truck. I guess I would. I’m a trucker. If it’s a truck I’ll drive it. I started on an old consolidated freight. So long ago I don’t remember it’s number of gears. Seems it was 7 it didn’t have a split. My first time down the vine I was in a 10 speed without jakes. Less than halfway down my brakes were smokin’ and my partner said “well Mark, get your foot of that pedal and start shiftin’ quick we’re goin’ for a ride.” That was a ride! I remember it was just fun. I’ve driven a lot of trucks with different transmissions. It’s been a fun drive 😊.
My Tundra is automatic because there wasn't a manual offered. I will eventually get a second vehicle which will be some classic convertible and It will be stick. I do drive in the button press shifitong mode, I cant stand for it to auto shift as it never does it when I want it to (or any car for that matter)
I would get tired of it if I still had to drive the 405 but my commute is all highway now and I'm not getting another automatic until they're so automatic that I can nap on the way to work.
Finally someone who know how to shift a 13 correctly. It drives me crazy when guy pull the shifter out of gear push the red switch or overdrive forward then put it back in gear it is not how u do it. Eaton will tell u that. Hell the sticker on the dash if it's still there will tell u this. I like how u started the video with OK u want to drive a big truck but u want an automatic that's cute. 😂😂😂. If it were not for the automatic u couldn't find any steering wheel holders at all. Hell my 24 year old nephew can't even drive a standard shift car for Fuck sake.
J Cortes if your driving a 13 you can skip gears if your light or empty I do. Once you past 8th gear you can't it just lugs to much. Hope that answers question. Thanks for watching
oldmanriding thank you sir. I started off on an automatic. It was nice in town, then it broke down and they gave me a 10speed. Took me a few days to get it down. But I fell in love with it.
FINALLY a video on how to properly drive a 13 speed. Cuz if I get that video of that overly pretty Mexican guy trying to drive a 13 speed one more time, I'm gonna throw up. Well done sir!! And the comment about the automatics, I love it!! Have a good day bud.
@@thatkyleguy1289 he's trying to say that he will bio your story into D60 13 speed Cat11 engine while sipping the maple syrup dripping from the cucumber tree on top of red Mustang hill below old twat creek next to smelly armpit and stinky nut sack... I think
Heck yeah! My Dad taught me to drive in a ‘72 K100 with a 318 Detroit and a Spicer air shift 4 x 4, I was 15. When I turned 18 the first truck I drove had a Fuller 13 speed. No power steering; no AC; and no darn Allison automatics!
Eaton box’s twin splitters rage change done them for 26 years love em and still shifting today. Block change them and your sorted, shame shit drivers and through maintenance has driven the industry to auto. The trucks will never preform to it full potential as auto. That’s why we keep the stick shift on the low loaders, right driver right truck unbeatable. Glad I served my time as a kid and through into haulage been taught by old school drivers. Cheers it’s an art
I am Soo confused on this 13 speed but I can drive my 6 speed camaro easy How ever you do it man it's complicated, I just got confused as soon as you clicked the red button
In a 13 speed your first for gears are on the low-end of the transmission. Notice the black switch is in the down position. Once you want to go to fist you flick the black switch up put you on the top side of the transmission. As you go through and every other gear from there up you flip the red switch forward which splits the gear. Essentially the red splitter throws you into another gear. I’m honestly very simple whenever you’re doing it
Imagine a 5 speed. Ok, the top 4 have 2 ranges, you select range with the paddle in front. In top range, each of those 4 gears has a direct drive and overdrive, which the red switch selects, back direct, forward OD. So, paddle down has low through 4 (low is fully left back, which he didn't use, full left forward is reverse). In 4, you flick the paddle up (range will only change in neutral gate, so you always preselect the paddle) then shift back to top left of the 4 speed H (5th direct). Flick the red switch forward, foot off the throttle, it shifts to 5th OD. Preselect red switch back for direct, shift to 6th, 6th direct, flick red switch forward, foot off throttle, it shifts to 6th OD. Same for each of 7th and 8th. So you have, including low, 9 direct gears, and 4 OD gears. A 9 speed is the same pattern, just no OD selector switch. A 10 is just like the 9, but low is in the high range pattern too. An 18 speed is the 9, but the OD switch (splitter) works in EVERY gear from low to 8. A 15 speed is a 10 speed, but the splitter is for UNDERdrive, and only works in low range, and you run all the underdrive in sequence, 1 UD to 5UD, preselect the splitter, then 4th direct, 5th direct, preselect paddle up, then 6th through 10th, all direct. Underdrive is 3 gears lower than low range, so 5th UD is the same as 3rd direct. 15s are mostly seen in heavy dump trucks and mining kind of stuff, so need that low range grunt, lol. In all of them, you don't usually use every gear every time.
New generation? Not all of us are stupid. I know the majority of em can be but come to the grain hauling farming life that’s where the real manual driving cowboys are.
I work in mining quarry and drive dump trucks with this lever like thingy, if you switch it down it changes to Low, up goes High, and the trucks are XCMG with 8 speed, Low1 with High5, L2 H6, L3 H7, L4 H8, also reverse, and HOWO 371 with 10 speed L1 goes with H6, L5 with H10. I also drive MT86 but this one is simple as sedans with manual, 7speed.
This is the best visual...however one that don't know would've said you only shifted 12 gears...but they need to know about the LO gear....that's what make it 13 speed! Great demonstration overall!
I wish I looked at this video yesterday. Anyway, I got it now. Thank you very much. One thing though I wish you would have downshifted but but I would do I think is bull the red button back with the splitter up put it in 4th or h gear and downshift.. unless you have a video showing the exact proper way of doing it. LOL thank you

Automatics are fine if you like backaches!
I always believed that driving stick shift makes a better driver, because it makes you in tune with your vehicle...👍🏼

My Tundra is automatic because there wasn't a manual offered. I will eventually get a second vehicle which will be some classic convertible and It will be stick.
I do drive in the button press shifitong mode, I cant stand for it to auto shift as it never does it when I want it to (or any car for that matter)
You can always buy your own truck or work somewhere else. I told my boss I’ll quit if he puts me in an auto.
@Hello James how are you doing
My car has

I have no car 😏
Get an uber then
We need more videos like a driving series or Point of View 🤭 great work 🫡
Thank you sir for keeping America going. Hat off to you.
I can't stand the new automatics. Sure it makes it easier in city traffic, but where's the fun in that?
People who are experienced to driving and aren't really car people get tired of it
I would get tired of it if I still had to drive the 405 but my commute is all highway now and I'm not getting another automatic until they're so automatic that I can nap on the way to work.
Finally someone who know how to shift a 13 correctly. It drives me crazy when guy pull the shifter out of gear push the red switch or overdrive forward then put it back in gear it is not how u do it. Eaton will tell u that. Hell the sticker on the dash if it's still there will tell u this. I like how u started the video with OK u want to drive a big truck but u want an automatic that's cute. 😂😂😂. If it were not for the automatic u couldn't find any steering wheel holders at all. Hell my 24 year old nephew can't even drive a standard shift car for Fuck sake.
Steve Pilkington thanks for the flowers. Been driving 40 yrs should know by now , right.
I have a dumb question...I've only driven a 10speed. Do you have to split 5,6,7? Or could I go 5L,6L,7L, 8L,8H?? Am I making sense?
J Cortes if your driving a 13 you can skip gears if your light or empty I do. Once you past 8th gear you can't it just lugs to much. Hope that answers question. Thanks for watching
oldmanriding thank you sir. I started off on an automatic. It was nice in town, then it broke down and they gave me a 10speed. Took me a few days to get it down. But I fell in love with it.
J Cortes the ten speed is pretty much the best transmission. That's basically the same as the 13 without the overdrive.
Did u start in second? I watched several times and counted 12 each time. Which one am I missing? Is shifting the high low switch considered a gear?
Guitar Nut yes I did start in second gear. Thanks for watching
He was in first but there is a low gear to the far left and down
Yes he started in second gear
Guitar Nut actually I started in first, there is a lower gear but according to the pattern they call it first. So there's actually 13 gears
Guitar Nut ,its 13 speeds,not gears . Low is the first forward speed and you pretty much always start in 2nd.
I'm happy to still see somebody driving 13's.
Thank you old man explanation couldn’t be better be safe out there!
He tamed that truck just right..
FINALLY a video on how to properly drive a 13 speed. Cuz if I get that video of that overly pretty Mexican guy trying to drive a 13 speed one more time, I'm gonna throw up. Well done sir!! And the comment about the automatics, I love it!! Have a good day bud.
thatkyleguy 1 you to. Thanks for watching cuz
thatkyleguy 1 found a generally wear them at blue daisy and do
tommy hobgood what are you trying to say?
@@thatkyleguy1289 he's trying to say that he will bio your story into D60 13 speed Cat11 engine while sipping the maple syrup dripping from the cucumber tree on top of red Mustang hill below old twat creek next to smelly armpit and stinky nut sack... I think
Hahahaha. You had me at, so you wanna drive a big truck, automatic. That's cute lol. Awesome!!
Heck yeah! My Dad taught me to drive in a ‘72 K100 with a 318 Detroit and a Spicer air shift 4 x 4, I was 15. When I turned 18 the first truck I drove had a Fuller 13 speed. No power steering; no AC; and no darn Allison automatics!
Best tutorial Ive seen in less than 3min! Great job.
Nice job Driver!👍🏻
Dustin Richardson hey, thanks for watching
oldmanriding numero #1 para manejar 👍
Can you make a video of downshifting from 13 speed all the way to the first gear.
Watch it in reverse
Can't figure out my gear haha. Cool sir
abrahm sta.maria thanks for watching.
@@oldmanriding jjj
Eaton box’s twin splitters rage change done them for 26 years love em and still shifting today. Block change them and your sorted, shame shit drivers and through maintenance has driven the industry to auto. The trucks will never preform to it full potential as auto. That’s why we keep the stick shift on the low loaders, right driver right truck unbeatable. Glad I served my time as a kid and through into haulage been taught by old school drivers. Cheers it’s an art
I'm just 18. Your driving inspires me a lot. I drive a 6 speed MT car. I aspire to drive a 13 speed MT someday for sure Nana.❤☺
Oh yeah, I can count them.... I drive an 18 speed.
Heavy haul or just prefer the 18?
18 is same as 13 you can just spilt it the low side which is never really necessary unless your starting off on a huge grade
But do you count them numerically or
L/H like it’s supposed to be
Awww 13 speed, that's cute - real men drive a twin stick 6x4 ;)
J/K thanks for the video!
Fast and Furious cars be like:
I like your explanation, easy and simple... Thank you Sir!!
Thanks for watching.
Fast and furious gearbox😂
Is that red button for NOS?
I am Soo confused on this 13 speed but I can drive my 6 speed camaro easy
How ever you do it man it's complicated, I just got confused as soon as you clicked the red button
In a 13 speed your first for gears are on the low-end of the transmission. Notice the black switch is in the down position. Once you want to go to fist you flick the black switch up put you on the top side of the transmission. As you go through and every other gear from there up you flip the red switch forward which splits the gear. Essentially the red splitter throws you into another gear. I’m honestly very simple whenever you’re doing it
Imagine a 5 speed. Ok, the top 4 have 2 ranges, you select range with the paddle in front. In top range, each of those 4 gears has a direct drive and overdrive, which the red switch selects, back direct, forward OD. So, paddle down has low through 4 (low is fully left back, which he didn't use, full left forward is reverse). In 4, you flick the paddle up (range will only change in neutral gate, so you always preselect the paddle) then shift back to top left of the 4 speed H (5th direct). Flick the red switch forward, foot off the throttle, it shifts to 5th OD. Preselect red switch back for direct, shift to 6th, 6th direct, flick red switch forward, foot off throttle, it shifts to 6th OD. Same for each of 7th and 8th. So you have, including low, 9 direct gears, and 4 OD gears. A 9 speed is the same pattern, just no OD selector switch. A 10 is just like the 9, but low is in the high range pattern too. An 18 speed is the 9, but the OD switch (splitter) works in EVERY gear from low to 8. A 15 speed is a 10 speed, but the splitter is for UNDERdrive, and only works in low range, and you run all the underdrive in sequence, 1 UD to 5UD, preselect the splitter, then 4th direct, 5th direct, preselect paddle up, then 6th through 10th, all direct. Underdrive is 3 gears lower than low range, so 5th UD is the same as 3rd direct. 15s are mostly seen in heavy dump trucks and mining kind of stuff, so need that low range grunt, lol. In all of them, you don't usually use every gear every time.
Yup. That's the way I did it for 25 years. Then the 'Super 10' came out. Started out in a 53 Mack Conventional and a 2 stick 4x4 Trans.
As a Customs Brooker I cooperate with a lot of Truck drivers, its a tough job. Respect to those Land Captains.
Feels like u press the missle botton,,,,
This new generation of drivers wouldn't even know where to start on a 13-speed. So don't confuse them. He probably make them quit their job. LOL
New generation? Not all of us are stupid. I know the majority of em can be but come to the grain hauling farming life that’s where the real manual driving cowboys are.
I'll stick with my 6 speed manual. But thanks though. 🤣
I work in mining quarry and drive dump trucks with this lever like thingy, if you switch it down it changes to Low, up goes High, and the trucks are XCMG with 8 speed, Low1 with High5, L2 H6, L3 H7, L4 H8, also reverse, and HOWO 371 with 10 speed L1 goes with H6, L5 with H10. I also drive MT86 but this one is simple as sedans with manual, 7speed.
Finally a professional..! 👍👍💚🚛 good job old guy.
Thanks for watching
BS. You have that little autodrive box from the Simpsons under your glovebox
Wanna drive an automatic?? That’s cute. 🤣🤣🤣
Salvaje mensaje en español aparece :D
This is the best visual...however one that don't know would've said you only shifted 12 gears...but they need to know about the LO gear....that's what make it 13 speed! Great demonstration overall!
Thanks for watching
I wish I looked at this video yesterday. Anyway, I got it now. Thank you very much. One thing though I wish you would have downshifted but but I would do I think is bull the red button back with the splitter up put it in 4th or h gear and downshift.. unless you have a video showing the exact proper way of doing it. LOL thank you
Just reverse the way you upshifted. Thanks for watching
That’s nothing. In the fast and furious movies there’s no such thing as a “top gear”
